@latifnasser it's this a real account or an unofficial Twitter mirror?

@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei To be honest I've never heard of overtime pay for hourly employees. How does that work? Where does the overtime start? It's just more hours.

@RickiTarr We do allow religious people in our buildings as well.

@lcamtuf I think that's what smart glasses do.

@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei At my company you calculate your hourly wage from salary divided by 30*8 then multiply it by 1.5 to get the overtime pay rate. Many companies expect people to work for free, like you've said, but they're not good companies.

@lcamtuf Think of it this way: many of those people who's debt is being traded would like to pay it off, but aren't allowed to pay off 1 cent on the dollar. This way they've paid it off (via taxes) at market rate.

@lcamtuf I think they're buying it at a rate collection the agencies buy it at. It's going to help people. And $20 million is not that much, all things considered.

@freemo @scott_guertin @georgetakei No, they are not. That's why we have something called "overtime pay". Because work in excess of agreed hours is something that is compensated separately.

I just sneezed and farted at the same time and I think my body took a screen shot.

There's no law that says that if you follow politics, it has to be your country's politics. I, for one, choose the one which has the funniest satirists.

@ramsey In this bespoke uuid gold rush I'll be the one selling 256-sided dies.

@Ashley I've traveled by night to spread flower petals in front of my wife's - then girlfriend's - door, as a romantic gesture. When she opened the door in the morning it gave her a huge fright because she thought someone had deliberately spilled garbage in front of her door. Luckily she did appreciate it in the long run.

@civicwhitaker I don't think it's even that strategic. They're just minmaxing everything on the altar of price per share.

@fox I read this as “I have a 6-year-old” and it was just as relevant
